What a great way to conclude my Red Lace Outfit Series since it is also a perfect outfit for Valentines Day:)

I had put together an inspiration board to help give me direction on the earrings I was looking for. These were all inspired by the Dolce&Gabbana Fall 2013 Fashion Show.

I knew I wanted something gold, big (proportional to me), sparkly, and a touch of pearls. I had gone to at least 5 different shops and did not find earrings that “felt” right. So guess what I decided to do? DIY them! I hope you enjoy the process:)

I purchased 3 separate earrings that would bring all the elements together. They were all gold. One had the size, the second had pearls, and the last had that touch of sparkle. I was really happy with the result and got to wear it with my Wedding Guest outfit.

I have been wanting to #sew a tuxedo inspired dress for awhile now. Because of @Carikim, I was able to bring my imagination to life. I want to thank Cari for sponsoring this project. If you ever want couture sewing inspiration, I encourage you to visit @carikim Instagram’s page. My muslin mock ups are usually a mess but I love visiting her IG especially for her pristine and beautiful #muslin work😍. Thank you Cari for inspiring me and for your support.

This project will have a special focus on the welt pocket I created out of the matte & sheen fabric I sewed the dress with. I created the welt pocket with a shiny satin fabric contrast to the main body of the dress. It would also match the lapel and the custom satin buttons.

And here is how I created the single welt pocket. Have you ever sewn a welt pocket? Feel free to share your tips and tricks:)

I am in my element when I get to talk about creativity and design. Can you tell? I had the opportunity to be part of @basileventroom Open House and showed Brides how they can get creative with my LUXE DIY Veil Kit. I love the surprise reactions when they see the different style options they can design. (Visit my FB Page for more photos: https://bit.ly/2Rs6Xxy)

And we can never forget the grooms! I challenged the grooms on tying the bow tie. Many have never tied a bow tie before so it is always a fun challenge. Are you able to tie a bow tie? Per the grooms, it is not as easy as it seems

I want to thank Kristi O’Connell @basileventroom for the opportunity to be part of their open house as well as part of Woodlands Wedding Tour.

It’s always nice to see familiar #vendors and meet new ones. Here are the vendors at Basil Event Room.

Here are the “Ordinaries” for the next DIY tutorial. Want to take a guess at what is being created? I guess some of the items in the photo may give it away:) Well, I am still tweaking with it until I am satisfied with the final product.

Stay tuned!…..
